Written, directed and executive produced by Emmy-nominee and 2013
Sundance Best Director winner Soloway, Transparent is a ten
episode, half hour novelistic series that explores family, identity,
sex, and love. The series stars Tambor as Maura, who has spent her life
as Mort—the Pfefferman family patriarch. When she reintroduces herself
to her family, everyone’s secrets finally start to come out. This
includes her ex-wife Shelly (played by Light), and their
children—meandering Ali (played by Hoffmann), record producer Josh
(played by Duplass), and sexually conflicted Sarah (played by
Landecker). Each family member spins in a different direction as they
begin to figure out who they are going to become.

Amazon Prime members can watch the first episode of Transparent now
via the Prime Instant Video apps for Amazon Fire TV, Kindle Fire
tablets, Fire phone, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Roku, Xbox, PlayStation,
Wii, as well as hundreds of other connected devices such as smart TVs—or
customers can visit Amazon.com/PIV to watch online. Prime members can
add Transparent to their Watchlist and easily access new episodes
when they premiere on September 26.

“We couldn’t be more pleased to offer our customers all episodes of Transparent
in late September,” said Roy Price, Director of Amazon Studios.
“Jill has an amazing ability to create deep, engaging and rich stories
and characters. We think customers will enjoy this fresh, humorous, and
touching series.”

“I am beyond excited to share Transparent with the world through
Amazon. They’ve been so supportive through this incredible process,”
said Soloway. “Artistically, it’s been a dream come true. I absolutely
got to make the show I wanted to make.”
